[ETS/PARC List] ETS net Wed 10/29

[jefflih--- via ETSList]

Hello to all,  I will NOT be able to run the ETS net tis Wed (10/29).

 

I am a member of the Clark CERT team, and since we (as a club) 

Use the CERT facilities for our monthly meetings and our VE testing

I think that it would be the proper thing for the good of the club for me

To attend the CERT meeting that will be held this Wednesday.

 So… I am asking for someone to step forward and run our net.

The “script” follows here.

Thanks – Jeff

 

 

ETS NET CONTROL SCRIPT (rev 10/10/14)

I. Introduction:

Good evening, This is _______< Welcome to the ETS Wednesday night general information net. This net is operated and sponsored by the Electronic Technology Society of N.J., Inc. “ETS”.  This is the Wachung repeater at 146.940, PL’d at 141.3 with the call K2ETS. We also run a backup repeater at a secondary site on the same frequency and call using a PL of 151.4. 

The club also operates a 220 repeater on 223.96, using the same call with a PL of 110.9. The 220 repeater is normally linked to the Raritan Valley Radio Club’s W2QW 440 repeater at 442.250 using a PL of 141.3. The 440 repeater offers IRLP, Allstar, as well as Echolink. 

Thanks to the generosity of the Raritan Valley Radio Club, we have also used their W2QW repeater at 146.625 with a PL of 141.3.  

We normally link the K2ETS and the W2QW repeaters for our nets.

The Raritan Valley Radio Club holds an informational social net on Sundays at 8pm. All radio amateurs are invited to participate with access available via all the repeaters that I just mentioned, including Echolink and All-star.

RVRC also operates a repeater on 927.050.
